Without ill head coach Jim Calhoun Thursday, Connecticut rolled to a 103-47 rout of Chattanooga in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Philadelphia.
The Huskies, the top seed in the West Region, learned shortly before the contest that Calhoun had been hospitalized for undisclosed health reasons, but under the guidance of assistant George Blaney, they stormed to a 48-20 halftime advantage.
A 55-27 second half completed the third-largest victory margin in NCAA Tournament history.
Stanley Robinson's 24 points and seven rebounds led UConn.
A.J. Price scored 20 with six rebounds, three assists and three steals.
Hasheem Thabeet scored 20 with 13 rebounds.
Jeff Adrien had 13 points, 16 rebounds and four assists, and Kemba Walker added 10 points with six assists for the Huskies (28-4), who face No. 9 Texas A&M Saturday.
Kevin Goffney scored 15 points, but was the lone player in double figures for the Mocs, who finished their season with an 18-17 record.
